Uninstall older versions

Hello:

I would like to know if it is safe to uninstall the old security updates

for example, Java, and Microsoft Visual C++ I

several installed updates.

I am suspect of the April security updates from my PC

has been reset on its own since then.

Thank you!

Nancy

Hello:

From what I understand other posters is that uninstalling

the old updates, keeping the most recent updates, was acceptable.

I uninstalled an update yesterday that was installed in

04/2010 before the restart events began to occur. I did have problems again...

I'll keep the information just in case something should arise once again.

Thank you!

Nancy

    Is - this safe/recommended to uninstall older versions of LR & PS?

    I recommend you leave these older versions for a few months and if you find that you can never get them, uninstall.

    Hello, when there is an older version on the dashboard next to the version currently installed it is usually only one entry of rest that does not get removed correctly (the former firefox program will be not present on your hard drive any longer). If you choose to uninstall the old writing, it will probably remove the current version of your hard drive instead. If you so please make sure that you do NOT check to remove your personal data during the uninstallation. You must install the latest version of firefox from www.getfirefox.com new later if...

  • problem after uninstalling older versions of LV

    I am facing a strange problem, and I would like to ask for help before doing more drastic step, like trying to reinstall all required components of OR, or even reinstall the whole PC.

    History of the PC: I had versions of LabVIEW (all 32 bit) installed on this laptop, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 finally. I wanted only keep version 2015 on this laptop, so I went to Windows (Win7 32 bit) Control Panel, menu "remove/uninstall programs" and I uninstalled all components with older version numbers. After this step LV2015 works fine as before, but I see strange things in "NI Update Service", see the screenshot below.

    I also copied the contents of my file "c:\Program Files (x 86) \National Instruments\" here, see below (by the way, y at - it no tool OR to list ALL installed software components OR?) Uninstall the Windows list ' menu app is not exportable )

    Edit1: If one thing I don't understand: what are these driver updates, do I need? and why the update tells me to update LV2014, it is even not installed more!

    As a result, I've been several times.  Unfortunately, there are enough "complications" in how LabVIEW is installed and uninstalled the only practice which has probably worked for me (and in almost all cases, I tried something "simple", I followed upward to do this way) is the following:

    1. Back up your C: drive (or anywhere where your operating system files and the live main program).
    2. Gather the installation media for the Versions that you want to run.
    3. Uninstall everything in Scripture NOR in programs and features.
    4. Everything which "hangs on" uninstall LabVIEW (such as VIPM).
    5. If you are comfortable editing the registry, try to delete entries 'LabVIEW' and 'National Instruments' as much as possible.  This can take a significant amount of time!
    6. Delete files and folders in Program Files and Program Files (x 86) related to the OR.  Don't forget OR downloads, that could be at the root of C:.
    7. Reset.
    8. Start installing, oldest in the first place, the latest device drivers.  I usually install a Version (without its associated device drivers), restart, install the device drivers that are suitable for my hardware and the Version installed, reboot, set default values of LabVIEW (activation of TCP/IP, adjustment of block diagrams as I like, etc.), restart, and then make the next Version, repeat these steps.
    9. When all Versions of LabVIEW, you want to run are installed, install VIPM and the packages you want for each of the installed Versions of LabVIEW.
    10. Drink a glass of wine--you've won!

  • Safe to uninstall older versions of PS?

    There are years that I upgraded from Photoshop CS4 to the CS6. Is it safe to uninstall CS4? In the old days, an upgrade updated your existing software. Now, it seems that the upgrade is really a completely different installation of the software. If for some reason, I have to reinstall CS6, do I need to reinstall CS4 first? Thxs.

    All versions of Adobe software installed in their own files. Updates do not install on top of older versions.

    You're sure to uninstall CS4 using the Adobe CS4 uninstall program on your hard drive

  • Impossible to uninstall older Versions of Adobe products

    Hey,.

    I recently updated my Adobe Creative Cloud products to the latest versions (2015.5), however, all the old versions are still there (2015), or at least, that's what Windows tells me in the control panel. Tried to uninstall, but I keep to uninstall error. No error code in particular gave, said simply that it is impossible to uninstall. I ran CC Cleaner and it showed that the old files of 2015 was still there. I ran the vacuum, but the log file indicates that he failed to remove a majority of everything. I decided to rerun the times cleaner, and now it does not show that all files in 2015 are installed... but low and behold, Windows still shows that they are installed. Clicked on uninstall to see to it it erase just displayed, but Creative cloud appears with the error message that it is impossible to uninstall. Should I go in the folder Program files and delete the files of 2015? Just trying to save some additional gigs of hard drive space. If that doesn't work, then I won't bother to face it, I'm too busy. Thanks for reading!

    Let me know if I need to view the log file. It's stupid to time, so I won't waste time everyone.

    If your cc app shows that older applications are available for the installation, install to restore uninstall programs.
